Inventions 2018 Paper

A few weeks ago, HCI Lab researchers and colleagues from Terpsichore EU project have published a peer-review paper at the Journal of Frontiers entitled "Digitization and Visualization of Folk Dances in Cultural Heritage: A Review". The paper presents an overview of the techniques used for the recording of dance moves. The different ways of visualization and giving the feedback to the user are reviewed as well as ways of performance evaluation. This paper reviews advances in digitization and visualization of folk dances from 2000 to 2018.


Folk dances represent part of cultural heritage and their preservation for the next generations appears of major importance. Digitization and visualization of folk dances form an increasingly active research area in computer science. In parallel to the rapidly advancing technologies, new ways for learning folk dances are explored, making the digitization and visualization of assorted folk dances for learning purposes using different equipment possible. Along with challenges and limitations, solutions that can assist the learning process are proposed.
